Orion Modular Insulated Hunting Blind

I shot an amazing buck during the muzzleloader season in Ontario. I was hunting out of a new 6X6 Orion modular blind with a 10 foot stair tower. I was skeptical about how scent proof it was since I already own 2 competitor brands and despite them "claiming" that theirs is scent proof, believe me when I tell you that they are Not! I have gotten busted enough times hunting out of those 2 brands that I can attest to this. This buck I shot came from the wrong direction that I wasn't expecting and I did not have the right wind for it. My wind was blowing right to him and with a 20km south wind, I was convinced that I would get busted way before he would be in muzzleloader range when he stepped out of the bush into my 3 acre Beets & Greens plot. I was shouldered on him for sometime as he fed closer to me with a hot doe in his sights. I was ready for the shot at 125 yards but wanted to see how close he could get to me before his guard went up and caught my scent. To my amazement, that never happened. The doe ended up 20 yards in front on my stand and I let him get to 40 yards before I pulled the trigger. He never knew I was there and that says a lot for the reliable Orion blind. Thank you to Orion as I attribute that buck to them and for making such a quality product that is not only 100% scent proof but also easy to build and take apart, super comfortable, safe, sturdy and completely soundproof. I plan to buy a second blind this winter! At 50 yrs old, hunting deer out of ladder stands and treestands is a thing of the past for me. I enjoy the comfort that the Orion brings to me.

I own a Muddy and a Redneck blind and the Orion is by far my favorite. I can easily dismantle the blind and move it to another location as it comes apart and sets up in minutes. No tractor needed, no opening up wide trails. I just bought my second one for moose camp and set it up on the side of a mountain. I could never do that with the other brands. The blinds are very warm, super quiet and spacious. There is no condensation that forms on the windows which open and close quietly and without any effort. The first one I bought was black but the new one with the camo really blends in with the surroundings. Try one of these, it truly is the Cadillac of all ground blinds and the only modular one on the market. The staff at Canadian WF Plots were very helpful and shipped the blind and stair tower at a very reasonable price.

I bought the 10-foot stand and platform for it which took my buddy and I about 90 minutes to assemble. I will try it this year and if I feel the need to be higher, I will buy the additional 5 foot section to get up higher to a 15 foot height. I could have built the stand and frame directly on site but the mosquitos were bad in the bush so we decided to build it outside my garage and haul it to the site on my trailer. The actual box blind took us about 20 minutes to put together. It was super easy with the modular panels and latches and no tools were required. Everything fits nice and tight. The entire system is very sturdy and solid, very quiet inside. It just feels safe. There are no squeaks or cracking sounds when climbing onto the staircase. I can easily assume that with the thick insulation between the panels that it will be warm and cozy on sub-zero days especially with a small heater. It comfortably sits 2 adults. We bought a couple of shelves and hooks for our gear and 2 of the Orion chairs which swivel and are quiet and you can easily adjust the height to comfortably rest your gun or crossbow against the window frame. I don’t own a tractor so being able to haul the blind/panels in my Gator to the food plot site where I set it up was a real bonus. Thanks to Orion for an outstanding product and special thanks to the crew at Canadian Whitetail Food Plot for their excellent service and recommendations. They really know their deer stuff. I can’t wait for opening day! I may end up buying a second one for my other 3-acre plot.
